In the quite unlikely situation where that happens, you've obviously got a piece of software which is broken dependency-wise. Many of the current schemes will fail to accommodate that too.
For example, no amount of moving the /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K35smb script around will fix that situation on Red Hat.
A solution to your example is to fix two of the three broken pieces of software by splitting B into B1 and B2, and either A or C into their components likewise:
A1 --> B1 --> C --> B2 --> A2
-or-
C1 --> B1 --> A --> B2 --> C2

Your example did in no way prove that, so thus far that statement is not true.

And my next posting was about ext3 again. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
